Hoping someone can help.
I have a mains gas combi boiler with a 13a fuse switch socket.
When I turn the fused socket off - the boiler goes off.
When I turn the socket on - the boiler is on.
In the same room on an adjacent wall there is a standard double plug socket.
When I turn the fused socket off - the plug socket does nothing.
When I turn the fused socket on - the plug socket is on.
However, when the fused socket is on with something plugged in the fuse in the fused socket blows, the fuse box trips and my boiler goes off also.
Have checked all the wiring and everything is where is should be.
Is there a way to get this socket working?
Is it a simple matter of upping the 13a fuse to cope with the boiler and socket load? Or would this put my boiler at risk?
All help and advice appreciated.
